[3]The theme for the Gluten-Free Menu Swap this week is Tomatoes. I don’t eat a lot of tomatoes myself, but I know a lot of you are growing fresh tomatoes in your gardens this summer. We would love to know what you are doing to add them to your meals.

I don’t usually make many meals or dishes where the tomato is the main ingredient. Instead, I often add it to meals for extra flavor, juicy texture, and/or that bright red color! And, the vitamin C and antioxidants it adds to a meal are a nutritional bonus.

Here are a few dishes with tomatoes that didn’t make it into our meals this week:

Chicken Pizza with Fresh Tomato and Avocado

[5]

Corn and Black Bean Salad with diced tomatoes

[6]

Greek Pasta Salad with fresh tomato wedges

Don’t forget to check out the roundup below to see who else may be sharing gluten-free menus and ideas for including tomatoes in your meals this week.

Brandy at Gluten-Free for Me![15]is not a fan of tomatoes, but she says she often adds them to meals for her husband and daughters who love them. And this week is no exception, as she will be cooking or serving tomatoes in their salad, Chicken Marinara, Hamburgers, and Cream Cheese Chicken Chili. Brandy says they also like fresh tomato slices with breakfast and lunch, and sometimes even make tomato sandwiches. Also on her menu this week[15] is Crock-Pot Greek Chicken, Spaghetti with Fresh Herbs & Parmesan, and Honey Lime Tilapia.
